Acknowledgments

My life has been an incredible blessing. And I owe it all to my God, my family, and my friends. I express gratitude and deep appreciation:

To my hometown folks in High Point, North Carolina.

To the generous members of the Nido Qubein Associates Scholarship Foundation who, since 1972, have helped to educate over 300 deserving young people.

To my fellow professionals in the National Speakers Association.

To my talented associates in Speakers Roundtable.

To my dedicated staff at Creative Services.

To the executives I’ve served with on many corporate, university, and community boards of directors.

To the thousands of audiences I’ve been fortunate to share with over the years, and the wonderful speaker bureaus who got me there.

To Mount Olive College, High Point University, American Humanics Foundation, Sales and Marketing International, the United Way, and so many more who were kind to bestow upon me various awards and honors.

And especially to the United States of America for granting me the privilege of becoming a naturalized citizen and pursuing my dreams as a productive entrepreneur.

Thank you.
